Day by day, every motherfuckin' goddamn second
Armageddon’s weapon, prepping us for our doom
Exhume the dead, lay waste to Heaven
You're the voice of the nation, the Devil's agent
Write off the sins of our ancestors and the flaws of all the ancients
And all the lies and all deceit, your goddamn trickery
You're out of sight and off the fucking grid
Base is cracked, pillars crumble and engines overheat
You placed your war in our hearts, you dropped it on the streets
March to the beat
The sound of drums is bittersweet
The hand that feeds is the fist that beats

Praise and erase the blood that stains our flag
Our crimes, they pay
Grace and rephrase the words that make us brag
We're burning away

The herd is safe, the hive is solid, the flock's intact
It's not what you say or how you smile or how you act
So stick the flag, sound the trumpets, beat the drums and then we hit the sack
But the consequences are like rusty daggers in our backs
Crack open the champagne and just devour
None can abstain for too long from the taste of power
The men of steel, the men of might, hold sway over the ivory tower
And our cherished safety’s beginning to taste a little sour

We're just a mess of insecurity
Lying to our-motherfucking-selves so blatantly and so viciously
And all we do is pulling through our fears and bloody immaturity
Oppressing all our enemies and backstabbing them like hypocrites
Base is cracked, pillars crumble and engines overheat
You placed your war in our hearts, you dropped it on the fucking streets
Stomp to the motherfucking beat
